Common Questions About Switching

How long does it take to migrate from Pabau to Aestheticc?

Most clinics are fully migrated in 24-48 hours. You export your client data from Pabau (CSV), and we import it into Aestheticc. No complex onboarding process - you can start using Aestheticc the same day.

Will I lose my client data when switching?

No. You can export all your client records, treatment history, and notes from Pabau and import them into Aestheticc. We support CSV imports for client data, treatment history, and appointments.

Does Aestheticc have all the features Pabau has?

Aestheticc has all the core features solo practitioners actually use: appointments, client database, GDPR compliance, consent forms, before/after photos, SMS reminders, and online booking. We don't have some of Pabau's enterprise features (like multi-location inventory management or advanced staff scheduling), but 95% of solo clinics never use those features anyway.

Can I try Aestheticc before cancelling Pabau?

Yes! We offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Set up Aestheticc, import your data, test it with real appointments - all while still using Pabau. Switch over when you're confident it works for you.

What if I have questions during the switch?

We offer free email and live chat support. Most clinics find the switch straightforward, but if you get stuck, we're here to help. We've helped dozens of clinics migrate from Pabau successfully.
